Answer to Question 1

D
Serosanguineous is pale, more watery, and a combination of plasma and red cells, which may be blood streaked. Serous is clear, watery plasma. Purulent is thick, yellow, green, or brown, indicating the presence of dead or living organisms and white blood cells. Sanguineous is fresh bleeding.

Answer to Question 2

B
Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums, and dental caries is tooth decay produced by interaction of food with bacteria that forms plaque. Thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth and oral herpes are open sores in the mouth around the mucous membrane.
